Label Mighty Lester Productions
Blues
If you like your blues hot, honkin', jumpin' and jivin', Mighty Lester's got what you need. The Raleigh-based, horn-heavy octet pumps out jump blues and classic R&B from the '50s to the '70s.
Guitarist Lenny Terenzi strings up a framework based on the stylings of the two blues Kings, Albert and B.B., with some Albert Collins and T-Bone Walker tossed in for spice. Todd Newberry is Lester's voice, his gospel background providing a righteous element to the band's back-alley blues and Stax vocabulary.

The Mighty Lester Band is celebrating their fifth year together of performing and touring and has released this, their second CD titled “We Are Mighty Lester”. This band is getting a lot of great reviews for their live shows and also getting a lot of airplay on XM Satellite Radio (currently #5)! I give this disc 3.4 out of 5 on the STLBluesometer rating. Go check them out at the upcoming International Blues Challenge or visit them online at MightyLesterBand.com
